Wednesday 02 July 2014 13.22 Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has offered an amnesty to tribes who fought the government, but excluded those who had "killed and shed blood."
"I announce the offer of the amnesty pardon for all tribes and for all people who were involved in acting against state to return to their sanity, and they are welcome," Mr Maliki said in his weekly televised address.
"We will not exclude anyone except those who killed and shed blood"
Mr Maliki also said that he hoped to overcome the challenges blocking the formation of a new government, a day after the new parliament's first session ended without agreement on top government posts.
"A state of weakness occurred but God willing in the next session (planned for next Tuesday) we will overcome it with cooperation and agreement."
Sunni militants, who have taken over swathes of Iraq, are reported to have told other rebel groups in the region to give up their arms and swear an oath of allegiance to their leader.
The move is part of attempts to consolidate control by the group, ISIS, which is now calling itself the Islamic State.
Mr Maliki has also rejected an assertion by the country's autonomous Kurdish region that its control of disputed territory is here to stay.
"No one has the right to exploit the events that took place to impose a fait accompli, as happened in some of the actions of the Kurdistan region. This is rejected."
He was responding to remarks by regional president Massud Barzani last week that there was no going back on Kurdish rule in the oil-rich northern city of Kirkuk and other towns now defended by Kurdish fighters against Sunni militants.
Kurdish forces moved in to Kirkuk and several other areas when federal forces withdrew in the face of a jihadist-led offensive last month.
Mr Barzani later told the BBC in an interview that Iraq's Kurds will hold an independence referendum within months, telling the broadcaster that the time was right as Iraq was already effectively partitioned.
